Spier Wine Farm
Spier, near Stellenbosch, is one of South Africa's oldest wine farms. According to the annals, there was already mention of a winery in 1692. The company is steeped in this heritage, yet remains vibrant and full of energy. Furthermore, it houses one of the largest collections of contemporary South African art.
Spier's wines are among the most awarded in the country. Visit the winery and taste the delicious wines served with healthy, tasty dishes prepared with ingredients grown on the farm or by neighboring farmers. If you feel like staying a little longer, you can stay at the Spier Hotel, which features conference facilities, and take part in inspiring outings while enjoying the tranquil nature of the Winelands.
The Stellenbosch wine region is influenced by the nearby cool ocean. In a warm country like South Africa, this creates ideal conditions for the grapes. The coolness of the ocean ensures that the grapes do not ripen too quickly and build up good acidity. This gives the wines freshness and tension.
In addition, this wine region has a unique soil. The red earth, which forms the subsoil of many vineyards in the region, naturally retains water. During the warm and dry summer months, the deep-rooted vines thus receive sufficient nutrients to continue growing. All these conditions ensure balanced, complex wines like those you won't find anywhere else in the world!
